9 Magnet Play Activities for Kids

My kids never tire of playing with magnets. Magnets are magic to really young kids but they don’t lose their appeal for older kids either. Even my 8 year old likes to explore the push and pull power of strong magnets. I’ve rounded-up a few of our past magnet activities and found additional ideas for play from other bloggers to share with you.

Remember: Magnets are hazardous if swallowed. Do not give magnets to children who still put things in their mouths! Use caution and always supervise kids exploring with magnets. Keep magnets away your electronic equipment. {This post uses affiliate links.}

The boys adore using a telescopic magnetic wand to pick things up. Scatter hardware like nuts and bolts on the floor had have the kids “clean up.”
